Does the product actually work in a 26" tire?

Yes, but one must understand the difference between a 1.75" and a 1 3/4" tire. They are not the same in the bicycle industry, even though the number sound mathematically correct. So, in essence if the rubber product states 26 x 1.75 and the box says 26 x 1 3/4, it will not fit. I clicked on the product that came with my question and it reads 20-x 2.125-Inch in which case it will not fit. It is a solid piece of rubber that does not stretch much, but get the right size and it is great. Just be careful about the sizing. For some reason unknown to me decimal sizes and fractional sizes are not the same in the bicycle industry. ??? Yes, but one must understand the difference between a 1.75" and a 1 3/4" tire.

Yes they do. They look way too big when you unfold them from the box. But they do fit. Have two of them on a garden cart with 26 inch bicycle wheels. Great for that application. But they ARE heavy. If used on a bicycle I do believe you would notice the weight.

I only have 26" tires. I cannot check this. They fit perfectly on my 26" tires. Same Radius, it looks like.

I have a 26" Trek with crosstrail type tires and it works perfectly - the clamps keep it pretty firmly upright. Not sure how wide your tires are, the wider ones may make more noise.

I don't think a 24" tire would work. According to the description of this product, it hooks up "to just about any bike...but requires a tire size of 26", 27"

I'm no bike expert, but I'd strongly caution against going beyond the 26'. The tube fit great, and still works without a flaw, and I can only assume it still works great because of the tight fit between the tube and the tire. Hope that helps.

I agree with the previous answer. My original tire was 26x2.0 and I've had no problems. I believe there's a fitting guide on Shrldon Brown's website for additional reference.

That's a wide tire. I measured the part that makes contact with the back tire and it was 3.25 inches. So yes.

There are multiple entry numbers for 26 inch wheels. It depends on the full wheel size. Look at your tire and see if it has multiple numbers following the 26 (for example 26x1.75x2) Use that size to correspond with table C on page 16 or 17 of the manual. Then go to page 18 to see how to input that number. Sorry I cant explain much better than that.

No, it is what it is. Guess I'd add make sure your cable drive assy on the wheel has the correct or at least the closest ratio for your wheel. I understand there's two ratios available, one for 20 inch wheels and one for ~ 26 in. If your wheel isn't exactly one of those two sizes then accuracy is going to suffer.

I have done this before (mismatched tubes by and inch or two) with fine results. In fact, my application for this tube was for a 1950 Western Flyer with fat 26x2.25 balloon tires. The 26x1.95 tube expanded out nicely and worked great. When installing the new tube, fit it inside the unmounted tire and put some air it so it fills out to shape inside the tire. Then carefully work it onto the rim. My guess is that the 26" tube will easily expand for the 27.5 w/ no problems.

It is for 26" and larger wheels, but I put it on a 20" MTB wheel and the long cage hits the side of the tire and prevents it from shifting to the 34T cog.

Depends on how far forward of the tire it can be mounted without interference with the pedals. My tires are only 26x 2.50" and it is barely tall enough without the rubber feet which fell off early on. You might be better off with a stand having legs adjustable for height thus giving a somewhat wider stance.

I think it should, but mine's a 26". What does yours measure from axle to tire tread?

Yes, this product works with all 26 to 27 inch wheeled bikes. The typical knobby mountain tire will produce a significant hum, buzzing, loud noise. I purchased a "bald" tire which eliminated the noise, but changing tire is not convenient unless you exercise more that ride.

There are many sizes of Mr. Tuffy because there are many different tire sizes. "26" tires that are somewhat wide" isn't enough info. Get the size from the side of your tire, then look for the Mr. Tuffy that is designed to work for that tire size.

It should work as long as you select the right size. Check the side wall of the tire. It should have two numbers (like 20 x 2.0) giving the diameter and width of the tire respectively. Select an inner tube based on those two numbers.

Yes that is the tire size. 26 is 26 inches diameter and 150 is 1 1/2" width.
